(GONZALES, La.) — The man suspected of killing his parents and three other people – including a girl he was dating – has been captured in Virginia after an intense manhunt that spanned several states.

21-year-old Dakota Theriot was arrested by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Sunday and will be brought back to Louisiana to be booked on two counts of first-degree murder, home invasion, and illegal use of weapons.

Authorities say Dakota Theriot shot and killed three people in Louisiana’s Livingston Parish before driving to neighboring Ascension Parish and shooting his parents, Keith and Elizabeth. He was arrested early Sunday when he showed up with a gun at his grandmother’s house in Virginia.

Kim Mincks was friends with the Theriots and lived in the trailer where the murders occurred. Mincks was in another room at the opposite end of the trailer when the shooting happened but didn’t hear anything. She says law enforcement officers came into her room Saturday morning and woke her.

She recalls them saying “something terrible happened here” and “get up, get dressed and walk outside.”
